any tutorial?

my friend taught me a bit and then he left and I have yet to ask for a follow up because I don't really have a need for one. Forgot what he told me anyways

you could always look up how to use it but xampp is a great open source tool for it

I'm guessing you want people to access this website?

and if you are running Windows and you can install IIS 7 (or 6) and use that. (this is from Windows)

I don't think so, I tried setting one up but im pretty sure it didn't work, How do I check?

If you're just after a small website to play around with, you're much better off just paying for hosting. The power to run the box you host it on 24/7 alone will outweigh this cost.

Then install http://www.wampserver.com/en/ and play around with it before you even consider actually running a website. That or you could try do something with http://pages.github.com/

I was just about say GitHub! That and you could use http://www.1freehosting.com/ later on but that takes some more skill.

[Sheldon]

Wait I get it! You want to upload your HTML code. Ok then use http://www.1freehosting.com/ to upload it via FTP.

I have used the before on test builds and I know guys that use it now. There's nothing wrong with it. It comes down to your code.

Using XAMPP or Wampserver only works if your ISP doesn't block port 80. If they do, you generally can't get them to unblock it.
